My wildlife calendar this month shows blue-footed boobies!
They are awesome boobies.
I've been given a desktop calendar of sorts, with Chinese sayings. I rather like Wednesday's: "The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their right names."
Last week it had "Giving your son a skill is better than giving him one thousand pieces of gold." Apparently the Chinese also realise that girls only want boyfriends who have great skills.
Well, competence
is
sexy.

The caption on the picture informs me that it is a "booby pair performing courtship dance."
Waits for a jillion punchlines.

Because if you give a man 1000 pieces of gold he will eat for
a day
probably somewhat longer than a day, but if you teach a man a skill, he can fish forever. Or something.

I hope it's the hokey pokey.

I figure a guy with 1000 pieces of gold can probably afford to enrol in a class, learn some skills, and still have gold left over.

Because "courtship" is what it's all about?

I dunno. I can't speak to Aussie Universities, but with the way tuition costs keep going up here...

The cost of gold has been going up, too. So it all comes down to the size of the pieces.
Sad, really, because if the piece are small you'll really need the skills you can't afford to learn.

That, or shaking it all about.
Peeps has come out with Orange Cream marshmallow eggs. I'm doomed.
uh-oh. And I was planning to stop by the drug store on the way home to get a multi-vitamin. Perhaps I can avoid the seasonal aisle.
